Computers designed with higher levels + of RAS have a multitude of features that protect data integrity + and help them stay available for long periods of time without + failure. + + Reliability can be defined as the probability that the system will + produce correct outputs up to some given time. Reliability is + enhanced by features that help to avoid, detect and repair hardware + faults. + + Availability is the probability a system is operational at a given + time, i.e. the amount of time a device is actually operating as the + percentage of total time it should be operating. + + Serviceability or maintainability is the simplicity and speed with + which a system can be repaired or maintained; if the time to repair + a failed system increases, then availability will decrease. + + Note that Reliability and Availability are distinct concepts: + Reliability is a measure of the ability of a system to function + correctly, including avoiding data corruption, whereas Availability + measures how often it is available for use, even though it may not + be functioning correctly. For example, a server may run forever and + so have ideal availability, but may be unreliable, with frequent + data corruption. + +if RAS + +source "arch/x86/ras/Kconfig" + +endif -- cgit v1.2.3
